It's the "normals" -- those who have adjusted to the corruption and sickness around them -- who are the insane ones.

Which of course is not to say they were not brainy. <br /><br />Re the issue of the extent of the role of numbers in the drama called "Reality", it is said by some that Einstein "got it wrong". <br /><br />For some "brainy folk" (eg Bohr) the numbers-ridden nature of quantum physics shows that in fact God does "...play dice with the Universe" notwithstanding Einstein's stubborn insistence to the contrary. <br /><br />And as for the anthropic principle, but let's not go there...<br /><br />Thanks for your comments, Cheers, MMmasterymisteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844831221838590812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-75895836130107349212013-04-02T16:51:38.336+11:002013-04-02T16:51:38.336+11:00"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to r..."As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." - Prof. Albert Einstein, Geometry & Experience, 1921<br /><br />"The fact that our universe lends itself to mathematical treatment is not a fact of any great philosophical significance.
